Stranded Story

It is front-page news today in Germany and likely to remain there for the next seven days.  The Thomas Cook travel group....is now bankrupt. What journalists say (from this weekend) is that about 150,000 Brits are stranded somewhere, and around 300,000 Germans are in some vacation situation and no way back.

Airline tickets?  Worthless.  Hotels will be asking you to check out.  One source today said that in Tunisia....hotels were holding vacation folks 'hostage' and you couldn't leave the country until you provided a paid bill to the hotel. 

Coming up with alternate methods to return?  You could be talking about a whole week before seats are available on some plane to return to Germany, and this cash required comes out of your own pocket.
